Safety instructions NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Electric shock caused by high voltages at the power amplifier output The output voltages of modern high-performance amplifiers may result in death or serious injury. Never touch the bare ends of loudspeaker cables when the amplifier is on. Proline 3000...
